Hello A clear scam formula is zero feedback & payment by Western Union. However there are some really crafty people: an example on ebay a year or 2 back was a person who was selling porcelain figures. For about 6 months everything was above board. He sold, shipped and was really exemplary. Then over a few days he dumped a few thousand new objects with lots of stolen / scanned from catalog pictures onto ebay. He collected the money - around $ 200'000 and disappeared. I've had a few close encounters on the phono front. But as Steve says, some specific questions, caution and a phone number to call the seller on pricey items can help save one from these scammers Have a good week Robert > >Hi, > >There are many ways to tell that you are an honest seller. > >How many feedbacks do you have?
